<div role="main"><h1>Problems view (C/C++)</h1>

<p>Use the <img src="../images/command_link.png" alt="" > <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.views.showView(org.eclipse.ui.views.showView.viewId=org.eclipse.ui.views.ProblemView)")'>Problems</a> view to display any errors encountered during a build.  </p>
<p><img src="../images/view_problem.png" alt="Problems View" ></p>

<p>Errors are passed up from your C++ compiler. The <strong>Problems</strong> view lists the error, filename and folder.  
If you select an error the associated file will open in a <strong>C/C++ Editor</strong> view, and the cursor and text highlighting will display the line where the error was encountered.</p>
